Many of you remember the great Valkyrie scam on Craigslist.  The CL ad was pirated from an eBay auction that was running at the same time. I bid on the eBay auction and won the bike. It was in PA and took about 6 weeks to finally arrive at my house in Colorado on Weds. It is in beautiful condition and runs great. I got a chance to ride it today which is my first ride on a Valk. I need a windshield or batwing on it and will get an Ultimate seat with backrest sometime in the spring. The only negative thing is the Cobra pipes have no baffles making it way too loud. So I will be checking back in with the VRCC members getting advice/opinions on the windshield and baffles. The Valk shares the garage with my Yamaha FJR1300 which complements the Fat Lady nicely. Here's a photo of the Valk at her new residence and her stablemate.   John |
